One day when heaven was filled with His praises,
One day
when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be
born of a virgin,
Dwelt among men, my Example is He!
Refrain
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified
freely forever;
One day He¡¦s coming¡XO glorious day!
One day they led Him up Calvary¡¦s mountain,
One day they
nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised
and rejected:
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!
Refrain
One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He
rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down o¡¦er His tomb
to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Saviour is He!
Refrain
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the
stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He
had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!
Refrain
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the
skies with His glories will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved
ones bringing;
Glorious Saviour, this Jesus is mine!
